Christmas is coming. I am very excited for the kids. They are starting to understand things better so they ask lots of fun questions. We are attempting to set a date to get all the Christmas stuff out but my schedule is funky this time of year. The courts are trying to get more cases than normal pushed through before the end of the year and we are giving up of Saturday off so we can be out there. My body made me take yesterday as a sick day. I picked up some funk some where then I think running at McDaniel Farm Park on Wednesday after noon in the 30 something temp then Thursday and Friday night I just pushed it too much. I'm Happy though. I was glad to be home even though I am coughing up junk and cant taste. I am slightly worried. I have a real tough time breathing going up the stairs. I just ran for 30 mins 3 days ago so Im not like that outa shape. Its got something to do with this funk and J thinks it could be something mad. I'll go see me doctor tomorrow after court and then go home for a nap. I have a extra job that I really need the money so I gotta be there.
All in all its good.
Joshua is so cute!

I'm moved back to life at home 24/7. Great reason. Thing 3 is great. With in the first 24 hours I've called him by my first son's name 3 times. I have learned that my grandfather didn't necessarily hate me b/c he called my by all of his children's names before getting to mine. I dont miss work as much as I thought I would. Yeah I want to get back out there but I'm fine with waiting for a few weeks. I have 5 more reports to do between now and Friday on "My own time"
.......
"My own time" doesn't work now because I am up all day taking care of thing 1 and thing 2 while momma take care of thing 3. Thing 3 sleeps most of the day and is awake and demanding of feeding in the night. So I am in charged of taking care of Thing 1 and 2's middle of the night needs. We were all taking naps today but thing 1 just never could get to sleep so I had an on and off. I was fighting being a grump.
......
Looking over my reports. I had this one guy. I got him for 95 in the 55 construction zone south bound. He was coming from a "gig". Once he was stuffed he was one of those I'm destroying HIS life kinda guys. Once at the precinct he told me I was responsible for the certain loss of his job and his girl. After a Nihilistic comment I wish I could say he shut up but he didnt.
.......
I need to work out. I have been inputting like 3k and put putting next to nothing. Yummy new baby food. Speaking of baby food. Momma's baby food makers have gotten back to my favorite size. I cant help but laugh at how fast they have grown in 2 days!
.......
I'm not looking forward to moving and having to have a long distance relationship with Momma and the Kids. BACK STORY We sold the main house in record time. Momma and the kids are going to live in the Mountains because the house there is free and safer than a free apartment in Gwinnett. We hope to save money by me crashing at brother Jerry's condo during the work week then going to the mountain's on my off days. Make hay when and WHERE the sun shines. So I am shopping for a a note book or lap top so I can have Video calls to the kids (works well with Papa and Meme). I know its going to be hard to be away for me and momma but we have made it through much worse. I am worried about the Kids. When I put alot of extra hours in the past they have become extra hard to handle. I didnt know what hurt more. When I would leave for work and thing 1 would cry and run after me saying "dont go" or when I leave and did not even notice. (add Radiohead song here)
This new living situation does not work with my latest professional goal so I am putting a letter in to resend my letter of interest. I am bummed BUT there are more important things than being on call 24/7 and increased risk just because its more fun. I really want to be on the team but now is just not the time.
The move also affords not place for Emma dog. Momma wont be able to walk Emma when its just her and the things. I will be placing an ad at work "Free to a good home." I really dont want to. I just need to sell a organ so I can put up fence so Momma can just open to door to let Emma out.
.......
We've been watching Noggin while I've been typing. I love this channel for the kids. T1 and T2 have only fought a little bit over toys. Ahhh how they grow! I wonder what "I" will be making for diner?
.......
Mom just called. They are coming into town tomorrow for a visit. Should be fun.

This is the Moonlite. Though of as the best BBQ in these parts. http://www.moonlite.com/
Yes it is a buffet of MEAT!
The Burgoo was the best here. Burgoo not shown, the sign looks tastier than the actual Burgoo. But stand on me it tastes better than it looks.
The desserts are the best part of the Moonlite. Nanerpoodin, chocolate pecan pie and the strawberry pie all must haves.
SuMin found this "interesting" establishment 40 miles outside of Owensboro. After sitting down and remembering the movie The Goonies I expected the Fratelli's to be running the place. But I have to say I was shocked and amazed. This is the best fried chicken I have ever had.
The Ohio River.
I found the largest gun store in Kentucky.
On the way home we stopped for lunch in Nashville. This place was well regarded as the best soul food in Tennessee. Right in the middle of down town Nashville (605 8th Ave South) is Arnolds. Wow another food gem, great Meat Loaf and green beans. The Strawberry pie was so good they ran out so I had to steal a bite from someone else. The service was great and they made you feel right at home. It’s always good to see local customers coming in and often first names and hugs are exchanged. If I’m ever back in Nashville I will make sure I stop here. Note: Arnolds is only open Monday thru Friday and I think they close at 6pm. Also check out the coffee shop next door. The iced coffee was just what I needed to help digestion and continue on home.

I just got back from the BLUE GRASS state. I was lots of Fun. I loved just looking the beautiful rolling hills of grass. Kinda place you just want to stay till you die of old age rocking in the front porch.
In Owensboro they have their three "B"s
Bourbon
Barbeque
and
Burgoo (like Brunswick stew but with Mutton)
I brought my camera and I forgot to bring power so I have no pictures. Hopefully I will be seeing some from my travel companions soon so I can share.
All is well the sun is shining and the people of the GC have missed me so I think I will be having many "citizen contacts" during my 5 day week this week.

The sound of water is a part of me. I always knew I loved the sound my water and how it made me felt. When those nature sound clock radios came out I knew I had to have one. It was not the same though. There is a loop of a 20 or so second recording and I found I could here when the loop restarted. Simulated nature. In college at my first apartment the water was apart of the rent bill so no matter how much you used it wouldn’t affect your bill. (High learning at its best) I would wake up an hour earlier than I needed to and go to my bathroom, make a bed out of 4 or 5 towels on the floor and turn on the shower and set my alarm for an hour later. Despite my environmental ethnocentrisms that 1 hour is hands down the most relaxing sleep I have ever had. This sparked my vey rare but euphoric experience of sleeping at a hotel alone with the shower on all night. (I need to change the subject of this post to confessions of the water waster) Why not sleep at the beach you say. Your right but the problem with the beach is the temperature. The other key part to this is the temperature of the water. It is turned to cold as to save electricity (not all bad right) and the urge to curl up under the sheets to make you stay warm. The beach would be suitable for my fantasy sleep vacation except for the fact I never go to the beach in the winter. I also think I had a bad experience with trying this in the summer and the people staying around me messing up the fresh air with a cancer stick.

Your Thinking is Concrete and Sequential
|
You are precise, orderly, and realistic.
You tend to get to the point and get things done.
Difficult, detailed work is easy for you. You take things step by step.
Time limits aren't a problem for you either. You work well with deadlines.
What does drive you crazy is any sort of task that isn't precisely laid out.
You don't like anything to be ambiguous. You prefer to deal with the facts at hand.

I had some feelings of my own mortality...
I WILL DIE SOME DAY
ONE DAY WILL BE MY LAST
I cried a little while I gave my son a bath. It made me happy to think about it because it made me very very very happy to be giving my son a bath even though he was being cranky. Where did my death feelings come from? A little from work and little from Pastor's sharing of God's word. The sudden phrase from Jen during diner, "some day no one will remember our names". Funny how she kinda just puts that stuff out.
*
insert paragraph that I wrote then some how deleted by hitting the dumb touch mouse pad and I dont feel like retyping it.
*
I took some time to be apathetic to the world and I guess it cought up to me. But regardless I dont like seeing people who dont like to wear there seatbelt, especialy when I get to meet them gushing blood on the hospital floor.
Note: 15 years from now they wll have developed the Psychiatrist in a pill and I wont have to waste my time on some funny looking couch. (Hey wait they do have a Psychiatrist in a pill form its called PROZAC).
Im glad to have rambled here

Special Operations DUI Task Force
Current mood: excited
I got great news I was transfered to Special Operations DUI Task Force. Im really excited and look forward to the new job. I have two more days left of working my old job then I go over this weekend.
Part of me wonders why I left where I was because I loved it. I have 4 other guys from my academy who I really enjoy working with on my shift. Actually there really is only 2 people I wouldnt call friends on my shift, probley cause they keep to themselves. We get to work hard and have lots of fun. (I guess this is going to sound so kiss ass but its true) Our Chief says that staying in a possition because its comfortable seems like a good idea, but ultimatley you need to expand and challenge yourself. (boy im really going to get ragged for that LOL)
alright...
Time to do some work.

I need some sleep
You can't go like this
I'd tried to count some sheep
But there more than one i miss
Everyone says
I’m getting down too low
Everyone says
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
I need some sleep
Time to put the old horse down
I’m in too deep
And the wheels keep spinnin’ round
Everyone says
I’m getting down too low
Everyone says
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
Just gotta let it go
"I need some sleep"
The Eels

I got to travel to a Southern county and see some family. Most of the men in the family down there are Law Enforcement so I got to enjoy myself talking shop most of the time. I also got to ride around with their two man drug task force and see how they do business. I saw what we do the same and was surprised at what they did different. I knew that small town policing is different than the big city but it was more "small town" than I thought. They had to keep in mind that 90% of the folks they incounter they already know from eithar their work or personal lives.(In 2 years I have only had 2 or 3 repeat offenders and more celebrities than people I know from my persnel life) That being said you cant just explain to folks that look this is how it is going to be and your not going to tell me what to do with most people. Besides the pay difference and lack of everything I like about busy city life I would try it but I think I wouldnt like small town policing.

It seems odd to think of the value if sleep. "You" do it because you need it. Most do it because they like it. There are a large number of people who would like to but cant because of various mental frustrations etc. Some like Doctors while in learning stages are forced to go with out if for 24 hours at a time for a time tested reason. There are even those people who are kept from sleep for the vary reason to break them down (some even volunteer for this). Ultimatley I am faced with feeling of a need for sleep, a logical process that tells me in order to do my job safely I must force myself to sleep. I also realize that working when all others (including my Wife and Kids) are a sleep I must give up a part of the large chunck of the world ( that being "day time"). So I lack sleep to at least try to spend time with the ones who are important. It comes down to me loving living at night, in the dark, where there is little traffic and a lot less customers to meet and greet.
I love to work at night and I hate missing the day.

there seems to be a trend on my LJ...
Father it has been a while sense my last confession...
long time no see ...
Well any way Im back and looking around ... I can really only think of one person who might even see this besides you random LJ checkers out there ...
Life has been the roller coaster it is... its great its good it gets alittle ruff then it gets good then it gets great again. The kids are great L is a great big brother to his little sister H. Its amazing to see how different they are. Its harder and harder for me to identify with friends who dont have kids or atleast like kids. L has the ability to break my heart with and look and build me back up just the same. H just loves to smile and when im bothered by something she can look at me with all the her pure smile and make me melt....
enough gushing ....
Work is good.... steady as my type of work is... i seem to be excelling at my job and others are taking notice... I have been training some new guys and I have a special unit that is interested in my trafering over to them so Im excitted about that.
I have to confess that I have been spending my Time on that more popular people networking website and it burned me. My computer got a nastey virus that killed it pretty much. J and I were very sad because we did not back most of the digital videos and half of our 1000's of pictures of the kids. So we had to learn a hard lesson. J still crys alittle over it.
Speaking of J and I ... we are doing well considering.... I love my job and it keeps me away at night most nights so she hates it .... but im home inthe morning and im up for dinner, but just the same I am pretty tired all the time. So it wears on both of us ... She is such a great mother and I know she loves me but I also think that becasue we want to wait just alittle while till the next baby she is back on the pill. As you may know the pill is the ultra mood killer for her. She explains it as I want you up here (points to head) and here ( points to heart) but I dont feel like it down there ( points .. well you know ....) so Im ok with it and I looking at it from a outside perspective I need to work on making her feel wanted more im sure..... Ironicly I have been recieveing more and more propositions while at work from total strangers... some who even after I say Im married they'll reply "so am I its just for fun" or "she'll never know"..."I have been strong and relizing that my wife and my kids and my job are worth more than getting my rocks off with someone i dont trust any way ...
did i mention the non trust of strangers has excelled with this job ....
any way this felt good to express what ive been up to ... i want to make it a habbit ... once a week canfesson ....
kids calling gotta go
